Love hate

Duets

Yume's POV

"Ok babies! Today we'll be doing pair work, you have to pick a partner and perform with them!" Anna-sensai tells us playing a chord on her guitar. I look at Laura sitting next to me, she instantly understands and nods her head, we do our high five hand shake. That was easy, I know I can also rely on Laura.
"But babies there's a catch," Anna-Sensei winks at us "You have to perform with the boys unit!"
The boys walk in. Nozomu is staring at Laura and I wonder why. Ohhhhh, does he like her, the best bit is
Laura's staring right back. Subaru is looking at me and I roll my eyes. I can't stand him, he will probably annoy me into forming a unit but I'll probably die from his jabbering before that even happens. I look at him and and smirk, he sees me and realises that I know he is looking at me he turns away red and blushing. I laugh and whisper
"Boiled octopus,"
That makes him go so red steam is pouring out his ears. Anna Sensai saw the scene and and being the teacher she is declared
"Ok Babies, Kanata and Ako, Yume and Subaru, Laura and Nozomu," and she then lists more names.
"Hi, Boiled Octopus, it looks like your my partner," Subaru says
"Yeah.....wait......WHAT!" I yell. Ako's glaring at me with jealous eyes. I give her an apologetic glance then think of an idea.
"You can have him if you want," I pretty plead this out I want to get rid of him so bad.
"No babies they are your partners no swapping!" Anna sensai tells us sternly, butting in our conversation, I groan. Can this day get any worse?

I stand corrected.......

It turns out we have to spend the whole day practicing with our partners. I make a wrong turn or move and Subaru kun is laughing at me, then I get mad go red and he calls me Boiled Octopus.

We were in the middle of practicing when my name is called.

"Yume!"

I turn around and something flies at me so fast it looks just like a blur. The next thing I know I'm being hugged.
"Ummmmmmm, not to be rude but.... do I know you?" I asked him confused
"You haven't changed a bit!" He laughs breaking the hug and placing his hands on my shoulders "it's me Hiroto!"
"Ehh!! Hiroto, as in Hiroto, my child hood friend!" I exclaim. He nods.
